How to: Saving a PowerPoint presentation to Video

Adding audio narration to a PowerPoint presentation and then converting it to video can be a simple method for making a lecture accessible to people who couldn’t attend the live event, or who need to preview or review the presentation.

What you will need:

A Computer running Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 or later (2010, 2013, 2016 on PC, and 2011, 2016 on Mac)

An external microphone that can be plugged into your computer (we recommend using an external microphone, as built-in microphones can pick up a lot of background noise). A basic headset is good enough.

A Webcam (Optional) if you plan to include a talking head in your slides.
